God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 323: The Final Piece of the Industrial Puzzle

Viscount Roster and the Wild Mage hammered out a general direction.

Massively expand infrastructure, getting facilities like ultra-high-speed trains, magic-powered vehicles, and roads that let magic-powered vehicles move quickly built on a large scale;

Use the Golden Merchant Guild to reach agreements with small and medium nobles, sell them Magic Conductor production lines, and promise to buy back their qualified products, further stimulating small and medium nobles to join magic-tech industry;

Go to Dragon Bank and persuade them to provide financial support for small and medium nobles, using low interest rates to stimulate larger-scale loans;

Persuade more major nobles, super nobles, and kings to invest in large companies like the Golden Merchant Guild, lure out their money, and use it to improve and supplement Magic Conductor production lines and some infrastructure construction;

Make more major nobles and kings understand the Tulip Kingdom crisis, voluntarily participate in the upcoming reforms, and cooperate with various activities...

Viscount Roster was very confident he could complete the first few, because whether it was Roster territory or the Golden Merchant Guild, they were all under his control. Dragon Bank was an opportunity to make money. No one dared default on debts to the dragons, plus there were collateral assets.

But the further down the list, the less confident Viscount Roster became.

He understood nobles and knew deeply that even with foreign invasion, their choices might not be that rational. Some major nobles, if they could ensure their own interests weren’t damaged, wouldn’t mind becoming collaborators.

To get them on board, he needed to transform them into a community of shared interests, make them realize this could be profitable.

Viscount Roster hadn’t thought of a specific mature plan.

"Roster, I think before implementing this, there’s one key thing—we can’t just barrel ahead. Maybe we should also pray to the god and communicate this matter."

After communicating with Roster for a while, the Wild Mage suddenly changed topics. "This action is just too bold and too important. We might even need Lava General to cooperate on some things."

After a brief silence, Viscount Roster nodded, prayed, and conveyed all the information to Ren, even including some of his more detailed reasons and what effects could be achieved if realized.

"I didn’t expect this guy’s brain to be so flexible—he’s already thought this far ahead."

In the Goddess of Magic’s divine realm, Ren couldn’t help but marvel. "But his idea still has many aspects that can be strengthened."

The Goddess of Magic, who was mass-producing magical life, looked at Ren curiously.

After understanding the whole story, the Goddess of Magic also got interested: "What are you planning to do? Have Viscount Roster do this? If successful, your Church of Technology’s influence will probably penetrate deeply into everyone."

The Goddess of Magic really hadn’t expected Viscount Roster to think of such an aggressive plan, and it seemed quite feasible.

Using external enemies to stimulate internal development and break the existing deadlock.

"Of course we’ll do it, but I have a more complete plan."

Ren smiled: "But I haven’t decided yet who should take on this role."

"A more complete plan?" The Goddess of Magic was curious.

"Super bank, credit currency, stock exchange market, bonds." Ren listed several terms in one breath, then quickly explained their functions.

A super bank would use its unparalleled credibility to issue new currency, separate from gold and silver, letting wealth growth break free from the constraints of precious metals like gold and silver.

A stock exchange market would let all large companies put their equity on it, letting people freely buy and sell, thereby digesting excessively issued currency, keeping prices stable, while also letting these large companies exchange equity for money.

With money, large companies’ development would go much more smoothly.

Bonds—companies and countries could post information on them to borrow money and raise funds, only needing to pay certain interest. The stronger the company or country, the lower the interest they’d need to pay; the weaker, the higher.

Of course, the risks were different.

"You mean you might only have 1 gold coin worth of gold, but use that to issue 10, or even 100 gold coins worth of currency, and this currency can actually buy that much stuff?" The Goddess of Magic looked at Ren in shock.

Wise as she was, she couldn’t quite wrap her head around it for a moment: "Won’t this cause problems? If you print too much, won’t prices rise dramatically?"

"That’s why I said we need to build a stock market simultaneously, let more money flow into this market, make it a reservoir. No matter how much money we print, as long as most of it’s in there, prices outside won’t be affected too much."

Ren explained with a smile: "Of course, during this process, our magic-tech industry will develop at a crazy speed. Lots of industrial products, and through our previous groundwork, agricultural products will also develop more rapidly. So with more goods, prices will be hard to raise. It’s all complementary."

"What if this reservoir gets too full? What if it can’t hold any more?" The Goddess of Magic basically understood but still had some confusion.

"Simple. Build a new pool, make the pool bigger, evaporate the water in the pool. For example, the houses I’m guiding them to build at Foster Iron Mine. Or make Roster’s Southern Development Company bigger. Or make some stock buyers lose money..."

Listening to Ren’s words, the Goddess of Magic had a sudden realization.

This plan did seem feasible.

Though risks still existed, they were much lower than Viscount Roster’s plan.

Were there really things in this world that were 100% guaranteed to succeed?

Everything had risks.

Especially development.

When risks appeared, just find ways to solve them.

If they didn’t develop, there might be more serious risks everywhere.

And there was another key point. "If possible, I think we could even have them mass-produce Magic Conductor weapons. Produce them and stockpile them all at the Tulip Kingdom, preparing for wars that might break out in the future."

"This can also become a reservoir."

"Yeah." Ren didn’t comment either way. "But what I’m struggling with now is, who should do this? If Roster does it, every country might end up with a similar institution, which could cause unnecessary internal friction."

"Comparatively, I’m more optimistic about the dragons, or directly releasing it on the Magic Net. Each has pros and cons."

"Let the dragons do it. They have experience, and the dragons’ dragon gold coins already have a certain credit foundation. Many places have started mainly using dragon gold coins."

The Goddess of Magic thought about it and gave her suggestion: "But in the early stages, we need to tell the dragons that the new currency and dragon gold coins should be normally exchangeable, so people trust it more."
